    Tradition is that when you close a scratch file, it goes away.
    You get a new one next time you open one.

    Otherwise:

    WRITE, REWIND, READ

    I get a run-time error with gfortran of

    At line 9 of file xscratch.f90 (unit = 11, file = 'C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Temp\gfortrantmpsHeKcN')
    Fortran runtime error: End of file

    and something similar for Intel Fortran.

    Got it, thanks. The following program works:

    program scratch_file
    implicit none
    integer, parameter :: iu = 10, n = 25
    integer :: i,isq(n)
    open (unit=iu,status="scratch")
    write (iu,"(i0)") (10*i**2,i=1,n)
    rewind (iu)
    read (iu,*) isq
    print*,isq([1,n]) ! 10 6250
    end program scratch_file
